First—It has been a boon to the city and the country adjacent thereto. Second—Several hundreds of letters, telegrams and copies of advertisin; sent to inform us of similar undertakings of brother storekeepers. Third—The storekeepers selling down their stocks at a flat discount have joined with us as cash purchasers at the mills and commission houses, and paid cash, for lower prices, aiding in a measure to ease the money market. Our customers get the advantage, when we are able to make lower prices, as we turn over the goods, and at a price based on exactly what we pay, to which we add our customary profit, and then when sold take le to unite in impressing upon makers of merchandise that a long-patient public must have its turn in some evident concessions in the prices of all classes of goods, as well as the usual fashion reduc- tions at this season of the year.

Nothing returnable The movement started by the Founder of this Store on May 3, as an endeavor to break the backbone of high prices, has met with a na- tional response. ‘The word has gone far and wide and up and down all over the country, that as a result of the Wi.namaker movement, undertaken for a patriotic purpose, the prices of the necessities of life are coming down. Hundreds of merchants throughout the country have announced themselves whole- heartedly and courage- ously with us in this big thing. Many speculators in raw materials, holding on tighter and tighter to their accumu- lated holdings so long as price quotations were still going up, were taken by sur- prise and are now rushing into the market tovsell at the best prices‘ they can get. Even the doubters now act Even such merchants as could not look upon this movement in a whole-hearted and patriotic way are being swept into it by public opinion, and une by. ene the most reluctant are breaking loose with gilded bargains, cloth- ing sales and all the strongest of the old-fashioned advertising de- vices to try to appease their cus- tomers who insist upon asking, “Why don’t you cut down your prices as the Wanamaker Store is doing?” There are lower prices for many things nearly everywhere, but the people of New York will long re- member that it is only at Wana- maker's that, no matter what you wanted, little or big, the lowest or-the highest priced ttrings in the Store, you could get during this sale at one-fifth off—that you could choose from the whole great twenty-million-dollar stocks in the Wanamaker Stores in New York and Philadelphia, with a few minor exceptions, at 20 per cent, discount. ncaa mre New And all 20 per cent. off Straw Hats from England And we needed them.
